THE FlsHERIEs NEGOTIATIONS.
Sir Charles Tupper Predicts . Settlement
 Advantageous to All Concerned.

Advantageous to All Concerned.
 WINNIPEG, Man., Dec. 15.-Sir Charles Tupper, Canada's representative in the fish, cries negotiations, arrived here from Wash ington yesterday to visit members of his family. He declined to say anything speci. fc about the state of the negotiations, but said: "We have had number of very inter- esting meetings, and the fact that we have adjourned until Jan. 4, shows that we still hope to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion. I am not without hope that we shall reach a settlement advantageous and honorable to all parties concerned" Sir Charles could not say how long the conferences will con- tinue. It was proposed to occupy whatever time was necessary to deal fully with the subject.
 Sir Charles declined to express an opinion as to the effect upon the commercial union movement of President Cleveland's message, as to do so would be improper in view of his official position. Personally, he had always favored reciprocity, and he thought the treaty of 1854 was satisfactory to Canadians generally, and that its termination in 1866 was unfortunate to both countries. He looked forward to closer commercial rela- tions at no distant day. Ee thought the ut terances of the president, Secretary Fair child and Speaker Carlisle indicated an en- largement of the free list to include numer- ous raw materials. This would incidentally be beneficial to Canada, which exports raw products to the United States in considerable quantities. There is a statute authorizing the governor general to reduce or remove duties on a large number of natural pro- ducts of the United States whenever the United States reduces or abrogates the duty on similar products of Canada The power is discretionary, but there is no doubt that the governor general and council would ex- ercise it whenever an opportunity was offered
